Is he cute because I am his mom? Lol

There was a conversation once with some moms I know that said that they don't believe all babies are cute... Ok.... They said that they will tell moms they see with kids their babies are cute just to be nice?

So when I am out with my LO everyone stops us to tell us how cute he is... I had a lady that did photos for child models tell me that she would love to have my son do that.

I then started thinking... Is he cute because he is my son? Lol do all moms think their kids are cute?

I used to think that not all babies are cute. But my heart has softened and now I can't help but see something cute in all of them. I know that sounds super cheesy but it's true!! Babies and kids are beautiful in my eyes .

There's really no great way to answer this. I would never say a baby is ugly because I don't believe I've ever felt that way about a baby. Some are cuter than others and that's just how it is in life period.

I personally don't think there is any such thing as an "ugly" baby. They are all so miniature and innocent and beautiful. However, some babies are cuter, and some grow up to have features that are more physically attractive.

I agree with the pp that said boys are cuter as newborns, I think its because babies resemble the father more in the beginning a lot of times. My neice was the spitting image of her father when she was born, and my sister even admitted she was worried about how she would turn out lol, but she is a very pretty 3 year old, she outgrew her homely cuteness after a few months haha

And also, I agree that mothers always think their babies are cute. My baby is freaking adorable, but she does make some weird faces, like this one lol

I think my daughter is adorable but in some pictures like a PP said she looks silly lol all babies are cute in their own way... But I've gotten awesome and scary pics of my daughter but overall she's a freaking adorable baby.

I think it just comes down to opinion. Everyone thinks my niece and nephew are BEAUTIFUL but I just don't see it. Love them to death, but think they are a bit weird looking. It isn't a jealousy thing because our family of course tells me the same thing about my kids, I just wonder sometimes if people are being truthful or just blowing steam lol.
I think my lo is adorable but I will also admit the is my cutest newborn. (He's the third) I say newborn because he could still turn into a weird looking toddler lol!
